Long Play

By Josh Cashio

Long Play Lounge in North Austin defines what it means to be a neighborhood bar.

Once a family home, it converted into a cozy, unassuming dive bar in 2019. The curated selection of vinyl records playing at all times and hand-crafted cocktails offer immediate comfort for those longing for a friendly, familiar drinking experience. The outdoor patio holds plenty of picnic tables and softer music for those looking to connect with friends or enjoy a drink in the sun.

Inside the bar, you’ll find cushioned seats, a wall of over 400 records of all genres, dim lighting and the occasional DJ. The ideal music listening experience. Whether you’re looking to discover new music, connect with friends or sip on an old-fashioned, Long Play Lounge is the place to be.
